Overview
editThe model was introduced at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024 as the EZ-6.[3] It went on sale in mid-2024 with an option of battery electric powertrain and extended-range EV (EREV).[4][5][6] The battery electric model has an estimated electric range of 600 km (373 mi) under CLTC standards. It is claimed to have a 50-50 weight distribution.[7]
The 6e/EZ-6 was codeveloped by teams at Changan-Mazda's Nanjing R&D center, Mazda's HQ in Hiroshima Japan, and Mazda Europe to meet each region's product preferences. According to Mazda, the vehicle has a low-drag Kodo design language and offers an electrified version of Mazda's Jinba-Ittai handling philosophy.[8]
The 6e is equipped with a 14.6-inch central screen, powered with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to integrate the control of air conditioning, seats, entertainment and other functions. It is also equipped with a 14-speaker Sony sound system, 64-color ambient lighting, front "zero-gravity" seats, a 50-inch AR head-up display (AR-HUD), and a glass roof.[9] The interior is available in Chestnut Brown or Egret White.[8]
